Chapter 146: Ambition
As soon as Gan Ning got up in the morning, he seemed a little uneasy.
Three days ago, he received a report from his subordinates that Gongzi was visiting, so he immediately ended the hunt and hurried back to Qichun.
Gan Ning was Qi Chun who returned the night before yesterday, but after returning to the city, Gan Ning hesitated and did not immediately go to the inn to visit Yuan Nuo.
Of course, Gan Ning knew why Yuan Nuo came, and it was obvious that Yuan Nuo must have come to recruit him, but Gan Ning was a little hesitant about whether he should serve Yuan Nuo.
On the one hand, Gan Ning knew that Yuan Fu was also a character.
The little overlord Sun Ce was able to pacify the four counties of Jiangdong with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and successively defeated Liu Xuan, Wang Lang, Yan Baihu and other Jiangdong heroes, and finally spread the word to pacify Yuzhang County, how could it be easy to match him? However, it was also Sun Ce, who led 30,000 elite soldiers, but he couldn't help Yuan Wei with thousands of remnants in Juchao District.
Doesn't this mean that Yuan is more warlike than Sun Ce?
But on the other hand, the general trend of the world has become clearer.
In the north, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao competed for power, the Central Plains was Cao Cao and Lu Bu in confrontation, and the overlord in the south would only be produced between Liu Biao and Sun Ce, and most of them were Sun Ce.
Is Yuan so powerful, when is Nai like this, and how can he be disobeyed by manpower?
It is difficult for Yuan to make a difference, and it is even more difficult for him to put himself into Yuan No's account.
It is precisely because of this that Gan Ning was reluctant to serve Yuan No in every possible way, so he hid and disappeared.
Wash up. Gan Ning was about to have breakfast. Suddenly, Ding Feng trotted in and reported, "General." Childe is here again. ”
"Again?" When Gan Ning heard this, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and he wondered if this Yuan was really patient, if it was counted from the first day, this was already the eighteenth time, right? Even if it's from the time I came back, it's the third time, if it's someone else, I'm afraid I'll have already brushed my sleeves away?
Seeing that Gan Ning didn't speak for a long time. Ding Feng said: "Why don't the villain go and tell him again that the general hasn't returned from hunting?" ”
"That's it, it's been eighteen times, you can open this mouth, but I can't afford to lose this person." Gan Ning sighed and said, "Tea in the living room, do you have a son!" ”
Ding Feng agreed, and immediately came out and brought Yuan Fu and Ji Ling into the living room.
After Yuan Wei sat down for a while, Gan Ning walked out from behind the screen.
Gan Ning didn't wear armor today. He was dressed in civilian clothes and barefoot. The hair is casually pulled into a bun, which looks casual and chic, but it also looks more heroic.
This is not Gan Ning's laziness, but a kind of etiquette.
Because the ancients did not cut their hair, because the hair was long, easy to get dirty and messy, so they needed to wash their hair every few days.
Therefore, Xiu Mu is a very important thing in ancient times, so when you meet guests in Xiu Mu, it is the respect for the guests, Zhou Gong Mu three hands on the hair, one meal and three spit feeding, it is a good story that has been passed down through the ages, during the Guandu War, Cao Cao ran out of the big tent with bare feet to greet Xu You, and was also regarded as a great courtesy by Xu You.
Therefore, seeing Gan Ning coming out to meet guests with bare feet and casually pulling his hair in a bun, Yuan Wei was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that there is still a door! Not to mention anything else, at least Gan Ning still respects him very much.
"Brother Xingba, don't come to harm?" Yuan Fu shook himself to the ground.
"Childe is polite." Gan Ning returned the salute, and then explained, "I was hunting in the mountains, and when I heard that Gongzi was visiting, I hurriedly left the part and rushed back, and I only returned to the city last night, I wanted to return at night, but I was afraid of disturbing Gongzi, and I wanted to visit today, but I didn't want Gongzi to come first, ashamed, Gan Ning was really ashamed." ”
Yuan Wei actually knew that Gan Ning would come back the night before, but he would not expose Gan Ning's lies, and said with a smile: "Since there is a reason for the incident, why should Xingba blame himself?" ”
At that moment, Gan Ning invited Yuan No to sit at the table, but Ji Ling stood behind Yuan No, and Gan Ning ordered Ding to cook tea to entertain Yuan No.
Because of the delay for too much time, Yuan Wei didn't want to make too many temptations, so he went straight to the point: "Xingba, I came to visit the mansion this time, but it was to discuss the future of the navy with you. ”
Yuan Wei knows that his strength can't impress Gan Ning, the only thing he can impress Gan Ning is the long-term scale of the future water army, on this point, whether Sun Ce or Liu Biao, they are far inferior to him, Yuan Wei believes that only under his hands, Gan Ning can become the commander of the water army in the real sense!
Because he is not an ancient person, in his chest is not only Chinese mainland, but also the ocean.
"The future of the trolls?" Gan Ning was surprised, he really didn't expect Yuan Wei to discuss this with him, and said happily at the moment, "Gan Ning would rather hear the high opinion of the son." ”
Yuan asked: "How does Xingba think that the water army is compared to the foot cavalry?" ”
Gan Ning replied: "The status of the navy army is not as good as the foot cavalry. ”
Although Gan Ning is telling the truth, he is not arrogant, at this time, the status of the navy is far from being comparable to that of the infantry cavalry.
"Xingba's statement is a big fallacy." Yuan Wei shook his head and said, "If it is to chase the Central Plains, or to wave the army of Youyan, the role of foot cavalry is certainly far above the naval army, but if it is to use soldiers to Jingyang, the naval army is the key to victory, no matter how elite the infantry is, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fight the rivers and lakes, but I don't know, does Xingba think so?" ”
"Yes!" Gan Ning struck the festival and agreed, "Those who win the water army will get Jing Yang!" ”
"What about Jing Yang?" Yuan Fu hit the case hard, and said vigorously, "In the future, when China will be unified, the infinite ocean will be wielded, and the naval army will be indispensable!" ”
"The infinite ocean?" Gan Ning's eyes lit up suddenly.
Gan Ning was born as a water thief, and has formed an indissoluble fate with the Yangtze River since he was a child, when he was very young, he once looked at the mighty Yangtze River flowing eastward and thought, what will be at the end of the Yangtze River? When he was eighteen years old, Gan Ning was finally fortunate enough to take his team of water thieves to the end of the Yangtze River and see the sea for the first time.
However, looking at the endless sea in front of him, Gan Ning's childhood confusion has not been solved.
At the end of the Yangtze River is the sea, but what will be the end of the sea? Gan Ning then took his team of water thieves and sailed out to sea to find out. Unfortunately. Just two days out at sea, he was hit by a hurricane. More than a dozen ships in the fleet all capsized, and more than 100 water thieves all died in the sea, and he was the only one who hugged a plank and floated down by luck.
It was also from that time that Gan Ning finally realized that a person's strength was so small, so he studied angrily and studied the tactics of the navy day and night, hoping to become the commander of the navy in the Han court in the future. Lead a huge naval army to sail out to sea again, and finally conquer the sea completely.
It's just a pity that when Gan Ning was successful in his studies and ready to show his skills, he found that the entire Han Dynasty had already become a pot of porridge, and as a last resort, Gan Ning could only temporarily live under Huang Zu's tent and be the head of a small naval army.
A few years have passed, and Gan Ning has even forgotten his dream, but Yuan No's words. But it hooked the deepest ambition in Gan Ning's heart.
Gan Ning's ambition is to conquer the vast sea!
However, Gan Ning's eyes soon dimmed again. Sigh said: "It is not so easy to conquer the sea, our ship cannot withstand the wind and waves of the sea at all. ”
At first, Gan Ning also thought that it was because the boat was small that it did not withstand the wind and waves.
But after arriving under Huang Zu's account, he found that it was not the case at all.
Because there is a navy under Huang Zu's account, the navy has several building ships on the deck that can run horses, but such a building ship cannot withstand the hurricanes and waves on the river, let alone the hurricanes and waves on the sea.
"That's because of our ship, it's built wrong!" After Yuan Wei finished speaking, he opened the brocade box that had been placed on the table a long time ago, and then took out the model of the sea ship in the brocade box and put it on the case, and said to Gan Ning, "Xingba, please see, if you use such a sea boat, you can sit back and relax even if you encounter strong winds and hurricanes." ”
After speaking, Yuan Wei signaled Ji Ling to send the model of the sea ship to Gan Ning's case.
Gan Ning is an expert in naval warfare, and as soon as he saw this model of a sea ship, he discovered the crux of the problem.
The reason why the building ship of the Jingzhou Navy can't withstand the wind and waves is because the bottom is flat and the center of gravity is high, so it is easy to capsize, and the reason why this sea ship model of Gongzi is not able to withstand the wind and waves is because of the bottom tip, the bottom of the center of gravity, even if it is slanted by the wind, it can also be corrected, so it is not easy to capsize, this is actually a layer of window paper, which will be broken when stabbed.
"Wonderful, wonderful! Wonderful! Gan Ning exclaimed, "This ship can really withstand the wind and waves!" Childe is indeed talented! ”
"Heh, Xingba is wrong again, but it's not my credit." Yuan Wei waved his hand and said, "This model of the sea ship was created by Ma Jun, if Xingba wants to discuss the wonders of this sea ship, he should go to Ma Jun." ”
Gan Ning asked anxiously, "Who is Ma Jun?" ”
Yuan Wei smiled and said, "It's my diner." ”
"If you have a chance, you should pay a visit." Gan Ning put down the model of the sea ship, his mind returned to the topic, and said to Yuan Wei, "Gan Ning already knows everything about the meaning of the son, and he will only ask the son one sentence in the future, what are the plans for the future?" Do you want to stay in Xunyang, or do you have somewhere else to go? ”
It's finally time to get to the critical stage.
This is also Gan Ning's last school examination.
When it comes to the topic, of course, Yuan Wei doesn't dare to be sloppy.
Yuan Wei straightened his face, and said solemnly: "Xingba, I won't hide it from you, Xunyang is not a place for me to stay for a long time, I intend to, turn over the Dabie Mountain and then pass through the hinterland of the Central Plains, go to Hebei to join my uncle, and then seek Liaodong, although Liaodong County is located in a corner of Youzhou, but it is extremely good for the naval army to gallop, if I can get Xingba's help, I will definitely be able to level the three Han Dongying, wait for the Central Plains to change, and then wave the army to the west, and compete with the Central Plains. ”
"Samhan Dongying?" Gan Ning said confusedly, "Where is this?" ”
Although Gan Ning has been to the Yangtze River, he has never been to Liaodong, so naturally he doesn't know Sanhan and Dongying.
Yuan Wei slowly took out the chart that Xiao Ruoliu had spent two nights embroidering from his big sleeve, and then motioned for Ji Ling to spread it out in the hall.
Once Gan Ning's gaze fell on the chart, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
Gan Ning was born as a water thief, and no one knows the preciousness of sea charts better than him!
"Childe, this, this, this is a chart?" Gan Ning hurriedly got up from the seat and walked quickly to the chart, but he couldn't bear to step up, looked down at the chart and asked Yuan, "Childe, but I don't know where this chart came from?" ”
"From ancient times, it is obtained by magnification." Yuan Wei followed to the side of the chart, and then pointed to the chart and said, "Xingba, look, this is the Korean Peninsula, the north is Lelang County, the homeland of my Han Dynasty, the south is Mahan, Chenhan and Benhan, and across the Tsushima Strait is the four islands of Dongying."
